THE LOFT Colazione, Brunch & Pizza Dinner vicino San Pietro — Restaurant in Rome

I’ve never been treated this terribly in a restaurant before. I’ve been to this restaurant many times and usually deal with the owner who is kind, but today there was a waitress who was the most aggressive human being I’ve ever had the unfortune of meeting. We waited for over 2 hours for our food and didn’t even receive half of it. The half we did receive was an incorrect order. Eventually we had an appointment and stated we had to go and we couldn’t wait anymore. We waited for 2 hours for a cappuccino which we never received. Other clients got up with the same frustration and proceeded to leave. To which the lady started wanting to charge us for the food we didn’t receive. I had reminded her for the food over the course of two hours several times and she never brought it. She also started to increase the prices of the dishes from the price on the menu. She started slamming plates on the counter. And proceeded to stand in my face and scream at me. Eventually we paid for the food (without the workers giving us a receipt after we asked-which is grounds for a fine in Italy). However the workers didn’t stop there as the chef thought it was appropriate to throw the change at us, with the intention for it to hit us. I can’t understand how a worker thinks it’s okay to scream, slam tables, and throw things at client, etc. The workers were so violent and aggressive I genuinely didn’t feel safe and considering they were throwing items at me that was assault and I was...

An absolute hidden gem !!! I just had one of the most mind-blowing meals I’ve had in a long time at The Loft Bistro in Rome. This cozy little spot near the Ottaviano metro station completely blew me away with its incredibly fresh and flavorful food. I had one of their fresh vegetables juices, bruschette and the salmon salad, and honestly, it was next-level—packed with fresh, vibrant ingredients that tasted like they were picked just minutes before serving.

They also offer a range of fresh fruit and vegetable juices that are absolutely refreshing and full of natural flavor—no gimmicks, just real quality. On top of that, their selection of small dishes, sweets, and options for breakfast, brunch, lunch, or dinner make it a versatile go-to place any time of day.

It feels like a family-run business, and the warmth and friendliness of the staff make the whole experience even better. You’re not just eating well—you’re being welcomed and cared for.

I can’t wait to go back. This place truly deserves all the love and recognition. A small place, yes—but a huge heart and unforgettable quality....

I actually came to this place as a backup to another restaurant but am I so happy I did! It is a 3 minute walk from the Vatican Museums and was not super busy. We were warmly greeted right when we entered and seated immediately. The staff were so kind and inviting!

We ordered drinks which came out very quick and made right in front of us! I ordered a caramel cappuccino, which was absolutely delicious, and my husband got an americano.

I ordered the ham and cheese toast which was hot and exactly what I was hoping for, it was the perfect amount. My husband got the waffle with fresh fruit and eggs and bacon. The eggs were cooked perfectly and the waffle was so doughy and fresh! One of the best waffles I’ve ever had!

We are so happy we came to this place for brunch and would 100% recommend it and come again!

One of the workers said they serve homemade pizza in the afternoon which we...
